baby #2 updates

well, it looks like we finally have a name for our new little man.  we were torn between 2 that we loved, asked for votes from our friends and family, and decided on:

Boden (Bode) Charles Hastings

we are both really happy with the decision and it is a good thing because it looks like we have a date set for a c-section as well.  we had been holding off on deciding to have a VBAC or a repeat c-section pending the size of Bode.  so, we had a sonogram yesterday....at 36 weeks and he is already weighing 7 lbs. 2 oz.  he is at the 88th percentile and will probably be around 9 lbs. plus at due date.  that is another big baby for me (surprise, surprise) and i'm pretty sure i do not want a repeat of 18 hours of labor and 2 hours of pushing just to end in another surgery.  so, this time around...i will be rested, refreshed, and ready with a planned surgery.  we are pretty sure his birthday will be morning of april 13th.  so now, smith was born on 11/26...me on 10/26 and bode will be born on 4/13 and charlie on 2/13....pretty neat, huh?  sorry for our future children, but we'll try to coordinate you as well.  we cannot wait to meet him.  i think he looked just like smith in the sonogram, but charlie says he has smaller cheeks but bigger lips/nose than smith.  i guess time will tell.
